Mary B: A Novel: An untold story of Pride and Prejudice

Product Information

Thanksgiving services in the diocese of London were held at the end of April after false rumours that Mary had given birth to a son spread across Europe. [106] Through May and June, the apparent delay in delivery fed gossip that Mary was not pregnant. [107] Susan Clarencieux revealed her doubts to the French ambassador, Antoine de Noailles. [108] Mary continued to exhibit signs of pregnancy until July 1555, when her abdomen receded. Michieli dismissively ridiculed the pregnancy as more likely to "end in wind rather than anything else". [109] It was most likely a false pregnancy, perhaps induced by Mary's overwhelming desire to have a child. [110] In August, soon after the disgrace of the false pregnancy, which Mary considered "God's punishment" for her having "tolerated heretics" in her realm, [111] Philip left England to command his armies against France in Flanders. [112] Mary was heartbroken and fell into a deep depression. Michieli was touched by the queen's grief; he wrote she was "extraordinarily in love" with her husband and disconsolate at his departure. [113] Mary was baptised into the Catholic faith at the Church of the Observant Friars in Greenwich three days after her birth. [5] Her godparents included Lord Chancellor Thomas Wolsey; her great-aunt Catherine, Countess of Devon; and Agnes Howard, Duchess of Norfolk. [6] Henry VIII's first cousin once removed, Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury, stood sponsor for Mary's confirmation, which was conducted immediately after the baptism. [7] The following year, Mary became a godmother herself when she was named as one of the sponsors of her cousin Frances Brandon. [8] In 1520, the Countess of Salisbury was appointed Mary's governess. [9] Sir John Hussey (later Lord Hussey) was her chamberlain from 1530, and his wife Lady Anne, daughter of George Grey, 2nd Earl of Kent, was one of Mary's attendants. [10] Childhood [ edit ] Catherine of Aragon, 1520, Mary's mother Mary in 1522, at the time of her engagement to Emperor Charles V. She is aged 6 and wears a rectangular brooch inscribed "The Emperour". [11]

Mary Bennet is the forgotten middle child of the Bennet family. Her two older sisters, Jane and Elizabeth, are the main focus of Pride and Prejudice and her younger two sisters, Kitty and Lydia, create scandal and mayhem almost wherever they go. Surprisingly, I found myself feeling some pity for the generally despised Mr. Collins. But the way Chen alters the fate of Mr. Darcy was not my favorite change. The ending of this book, in fact, was what lessened my enjoyment of it. Mary was weak and ill from May 1558. [155] In pain, possibly from ovarian cysts or uterine cancer, [156] she died on 17 November 1558, aged 42, at St James's Palace, during an influenza epidemic that also claimed Archbishop Pole's life later that day. She was succeeded by Elizabeth. Philip, who was in Brussels, wrote to his sister Joan: "I felt a reasonable regret for her death." [157] In September 1554, Mary stopped menstruating. She gained weight, and felt nauseated in the mornings. For these reasons, almost the entirety of her court, including her physicians, believed she was pregnant. [101] Parliament passed an act making Philip regent in the event of Mary's death in childbirth. [102] In the last week of April 1555, Elizabeth was released from house arrest, and called to court as a witness to the birth, which was expected imminently. [103] According to Giovanni Michieli, the Venetian ambassador, Philip may have planned to marry Elizabeth in the event of Mary's death in childbirth, [104] but in a letter to his brother-in-law Maximilian of Austria, Philip expressed uncertainty as to whether Mary was pregnant. [105]

John White, Bishop of Winchester, praised Mary at her funeral service: "She was a king's daughter; she was a king's sister; she was a king's wife. She was a queen, and by the same title a king also." [159] She was the first woman to successfully claim the throne of England, despite competing claims and determined opposition, and enjoyed popular support and sympathy during the earliest parts of her reign, especially from the Roman Catholics of England. [160] Today, Mary and Tony are close friends and colleagues who continue to work together to inspire and empower people around the world. Their friendship is a testament to the power of collaboration and the importance of surrounding yourself with like-minded people who share your values and vision. Their Relationship Personal Life
